There are a few of my own game cartridges that I'm trying to back up which are larger than 4g. This requires that when I dump them, I split them since I also am using FAT32. When I try to convert these xci files individually to nsp using 4NXCI, I receive an error saying that the file cannot be read.

I do know that the newest WAIN dump (V2.0) allows you to dump over usb (so that you can dump to a single XCI larger than 4GB), but I'm using ReiNX. I did try to use v2.0 nonetheless, but after loading the UI it simply freezes and causes ReiNX to crash. I'm wondering if anyone might know of any workarounds to this at the moment?

Thanks!

Not a perfect solution, so I'm still open to proper workarounds. In case anyone else comes upon this, here is what I did:

I went and bought another, smaller SD card. 64GB is like $12 if you get them on amazon. I formatted the second SD exFAT and straight copied the core files and only the necessary home brew apps from my regular SD. Then I was able to download the full XCI as a single file, and convert it into split NSPs that I could put on my FAT32 card. So, this lets me back up the large games and keep the FAT32 stability on the card i store games, apps, saves, etc. on...
